On his own? As The X Factor-founded crooners go their separate way for a lengthy hiatus, The Sun reports that Harry has sacked his management to move on with a top U.S. agent

Farewell! The group have offered fans one last chance to see them in action - including departed band member Zayn Malik - following the release of their final music video for their goodbye track History

Reports suggest Harry is even contemplating moving away from Simon Cowell and his management firm SyCo - a shock move given One Direction's discovery on The X Factor in 2010.

Despite the news of Harry's big move, insiders insist the rest of the One Direction boys are staying loyal to their roots.

The source continued: 'The message from Harry to the other boys is pretty clear that he doesn’t see 1D together for a long time if at all. Harry had a great time working with Modest and Syco... But the feeling is that he probably wants a completely fresh start and that could include his record company as well.'

News of Harry's departure comes after the boys offered fans one last chance to see them in action - including departed band member Zayn Malik - following the release of their final music video for their goodbye track History.

The nostalgic video is packed with footage of the band throughout the years, be it the most iconic scenes from their much-loved music videos or the boys fooling around behind-the-scenes of their world tours.

Documenting their incredible journey, the music video depicts the group standing in front of a brick wall as they take it in turns to step out and perform their verses for the camera, while the rest of the group playfully throw some shapes behind.

Reminiscent: Fittingly, the video reverted back to the history of the world famous boy band, beginning with their journey on The X Factor in 2010, which instantly rocketed them to fame

Things then take a somewhat bittersweet turn as the video swaps for the colourful present day for old footage of the band in black and white.

Fans will be pleased to see that many of the flashbacks feature a shirtless Harry as he messes around with his band mates backstage or in hotel lobbies.

There is also plenty of footage of former member Zayn Malik, one of which sees him huddle up together in the back of a car giggling, while another shows him Niall and the newly solo star flaunting their bromance as they share a hug in the back of another vehicle.

The emotional footage may tug on the heartstrings of many as the 23-year-old recently told The Sunday Times that he is 'not fussed' about staying friends with them even though there's 'no beef'.

When asked if he was in touch with the boys, he said: ‘I got an email [from one of his bandmates]. I don't even wanna say names.’ [sic]

This revelation comes after Liam was quizzed about the possibility of Zayn returning to the chart-topping pop group.
